OPEN PLAN SYSTEMS, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 1998 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the three month and six month periods ending June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 31, 1998 or for any other interim period. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. 2. Inventories Inventories are in two main stages of completion and consisted of the following (amounts in thousands): June 30, December 31, 1998 1997 ------------------------------------- (Unaudited) Components and fabric $5,318 $7,650 Jobs in process and finished goods 2,450 3,130 ------------------------------------- $7,768 $10,780 ===================================== 3. Income Taxes As a result of recent operating losses and the uncertainty of the realization of the potential tax benefits thereof, the Company has not recorded potential income tax benefits of approximately $1,227,000 and $1,504,000 related to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998. The deferred income tax asset of $1,504,000 at June 30, 1998 has been offset by a valuation allowance. The Company will reevaluate the potential realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. 4. Indebtedness At June 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $2,769,000 on its $4,000,000 line of credit. The Company was in violation of certain financial covenants at June 30, 1998. On July 24, 1998, the Company and the financial institution agreed that the non-compliance with the financial covenants would be waived for the second quarter and the amount of the line reduced to $3,250,000 decreasing to $2,750,000 at scheduled intervals over the remaining term of the commitment, which expires October 31, 1998. At August 12, 1998, the line of credit balance was $2,255,000. 5. Common Stock On June 15, 1998, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock in a private offering pursuant to a management and investment agreement with a private investment company. Additionally, the Company issued an option for 600,000 shares of common stock to the same party at varying strike prices. The option carries strike prices between $3.00 and $7.50 per share. 6. Operational Restructuring During the second quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1,290,000 related to warehouse consolidation, returning to a focus on remanufacturing and a sales office consolidation plan. The operational restructuring charge included amounts for severance pay, payouts under current lease agreements and the estimated loss on the disposal of certain fixed assets. In connection with this plan the Company, reduced sales and administrative staffing by approximately 30 people. The Company anticipates completing the asset sales and severance payments in the third quarter of 1998 and the lease termination costs are anticipated to extend into the year 2000. OPEN PLAN SYSTEMS, INC. Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations The following table sets forth the relationship of costs and expenses as a percentage of the Company's sales for the periods indicated: Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, 1998 1997 1998 1997 Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales 85.7 69.9 82.5 73.4 ----------- ---------- ---------- ----------- Gross profit 14.3 30.1 17.5 26.6 Amortization of intangibles .8 1.0 0.9 1.0 Selling and marketing expenses 24.6 21.0 24.8 20.2 General and administrative expenses 11.3 8.0 10.4 9.6 Operational restructuring 15.5 - 7.9 - ----------- ---------- ---------- ----------- Operating (loss) income (37.9) 0.1 (26.5) (4.2) Other (income) expense .9 (0.2) 0.8 (0.4) ----------- ---------- ---------- ----------- Income (loss) before income taxes (38.8) 0.3 (27.3) (3.8) Benefit from income taxes - - - (1.7) ----------- ---------- ---------- ----------- Net income (loss) (38.8) 0.3% (27.3)% (2.1)% =========== ========== ========== =========== Operational Restructuring. The Company recorded a charge of $1,290,000 in the second quarter of 1998. The restructuring charge of $1,290,000 recognizes the costs related to three important strategic initiatives: 1) A return to a focus on the core remanufacturing business; 2) streamlining and consolidation of warehouse operations; and 3) consolidation of existing sales offices and reductions in sales training staff. As noted above, the Company will refocus on producing remanufactured product, reducing excess warehouse space, divest certain assets associated with the new workstation manufacturing capabilities and continue streamlining operations. In connection with the aforementioned plan, the Company reduced sales and administrative staffing by approximately 30 people. The Company anticipates completing the asset sales in the third quarter of 1998 and the lease termination costs are anticipated to extend into the year 2000. Total anticipated costs of lease termination are expected to be approximately $460,000. The Company believes that it will achieve annual cost reductions of approximately $1,500,000 as a result of the restructuring. In the announced restructuring plan, the Company will be reducing its warehousing capacity in Dallas, Atlanta, Cincinnati and Richmond as well at its Lansing, Michigan facility. The plan calls for the reduction of 156,000 square feet of leased warehouse space. Additionally, the Company is in the process of divesting certain metal working equipment originally acquired as part of the Company's plan to make its own line of new workstations as well as writing off its investment in new software acquired to support the new furniture manufacturing operations totaling approximately $600,000. This supports the Company's return to its focus on remanufacturing. The Company anticipates that these assets will be sold in the third quarter. The Company believes that these programs will reduce annual production costs by approximately $450,000 and will help it to return to gross margins that are more in line with pre-1997 levels. As part of the sales office restructuring program implemented at the end of the quarter, the Company closed its sales offices in Dallas, Charlotte and Baltimore and reduced sales training staff in certain other markets. The thrust of this program was to reduce the number of non-producing sales offices and personnel. The Charlotte and Baltimore markets will continue to be serviced by company employees working from their homes while the Dallas market will be serviced by independent sales representatives. The Company does not anticipate that these changes will have a material impact on sales volumes in future periods. Sales. Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 were $8,332,000 and $16,232,000, increases of approximately $1,168,000 and $2,631,000 or 16.3% and 19.3% over the same periods in 1997. The increase in sales was principally due to sales from the Company's three sales offices opened during 1997 as well as additional sales from the Company's National Accounts group. Among the offices open in excess of one year, seven achieved increased sales during the period and five experienced declining sales. Three sales offices closed in July 1998 as part of the restructuring program described above. The Company continued to experience sales discounting pressure during the most recent quarter. This discounting pressure came primarily from dealers and large companies served by the National Accounts Group. The Company's sales growth continued to be skewed toward this segment of the business during the first and second quarters of 1998. The Company is in the process of implementing new marketing initiatives aimed at its traditional core customer market where, historically, there has been less discounting pressure. During the year, the Company implemented initiatives in the branch office network including increased management and sales personnel levels. The Company also is continuing to evaluate the impact that its various marketing programs are having on sales in each market. Cost of Sales. The Company's cost of sales includes costs of raw materials (new and used workstation components, new fabric, laminate, paint, and other materials), labor, supplies, freight, utilities, and other manufacturing related expenses. Cost of sales increased by $2,133,000 in the second quarter of 1998 from the $5,010,000 reported in the second quarter of 1997. Additionally, cost of sales increased by $3,413,000 for the first six months of 1998 from the $9,986,000 reported in the similar period for 1997. The primary reasons for the increase in cost of sales was the additional sales recorded in 1998 along with the items described in detail below. The gross margin decreased to 14.3% and 17.5% in the second quarter of 1998 and for the first six months of 1998 from 30.1% and 26.6% for the respective periods in 1997. During 1997, the Company used its manufacturing capacity to increase work-in-process and finished goods inventory levels based on expected sales volumes which did not materialize. As a result, the Company had excess levels of inventories of certain parts. During the second quarter and first half of 1998, the Company reduced inventory to levels more in line with expected market needs. As a result, the Company had higher per unit costs as production units decreased more rapidly than production costs. The Company's margins were also impacted by some selective brokered sales. Additionally, the Company's margins continued to be impacted by excess warehousing capacity in the Dallas, Atlanta, Cincinnati and Richmond markets. Operating Expenses. The Company's most significant operating expense is selling and marketing expense. These costs are primarily related to salesperson compensation, advertising and other marketing expenses and rents. The Company compensates its salespeople through a combination of salaries and commissions. While most of these expenses are directly related to the current year's sales, certain other marketing expenses are incurred to build brand recognition and generate sales leads that may contribute to sales in later periods. Selling and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 1998 increased to $2,048,000 from the $1,504,000 reported in the second quarter of 1997. Selling and marketing expenses increased to $4,020,000 for the first six months of 1998 from the $2,754,000 reported in the first six months of 1997. The increases were primarily related to adding new management and sales people in the branch offices, increased advertising expenses related to coordinated national marketing programs and other expenses related to providing adequate support levels to the branch offices. During the latter part of 1997 and early 1998, the Company increased the level of sales people in branch offices at a rate faster than it was able to train and manage the sales trainees. The Company, as part of its sales office restructuring program noted previously, has reduced the number of branch offices and sales trainees to levels that are manageable but, in management's opinion, allow for a significant level of growth. Even though the company reduced the number of direct sales people, the number of Company direct sales representatives remains 50% higher than June 30, 1997. The Company believes that this strategy will reduce the cost of selling and marketing by $600,000 annually while having no material adverse impact on sales levels. General and administrative expenses increased to $939,000 in the second quarter of 1998 from the $573,000 reported in the second quarter of 1997. These expenses increased to $1,683,000 for the first six months of 1998 from the $1,301,000 recorded in the similar period in 1997. The increase in expenses in the second quarter were primarily related to the termination of certain Company car leases, higher levels of bad debt expense and higher legal and accounting fees associated with the transition of management that has occurred over the past quarter. The Company anticipates that its restructuring program will result in lower levels of general and administrative expenses over the next several quarters. As a result of the restructuring of production and the refocus on remanufacturing, the Company has elected not to implement the new management information system it acquired in 1997. Other Non-Operating Income and Expense. Total other income and expense changed from income of $17,000 for the second quarter of 1997 to expense of $72,000 for the second quarter of 1998. Similarly, other income totaled $54,000 for the first six months of 1997 versus expense of $138,000 for the first six months of 1998. The primary reason for the decrease is that the Company expended the cash raised in its 1996 initial public offering during 1996 and 1997 and had to borrow on its line of credit to fund operating expenses in 1998. Income Taxes. The Company recorded no income tax benefit for the first six months of 1998 versus the $234,000 benefit recorded in the previous year. This was the result of recent operating losses and the uncertainty of the realization of the potential tax benefits. The Company will reevaluate the potential realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $688,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $2,210,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in cash used by operating activities for the first half of 1998 was primarily due to increased losses offset by reductions in inventories and the operational restructuring. The Company's inventory reductions were achieved as part of the Company's program to reduce its stock of raw materials and finished goods to more closely match anticipated sales volumes. Trade accounts receivable increased during the quarter and six months due to increases in sales. Days sales outstanding decreased slightly. The Company continues to focus on decreasing the number of days sales outstanding and would expect that future changes in sales volumes will not have a direct correlation to changes in accounts receivable. Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $369,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $466,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The cash used during the first half of 1998 was to purchase certain capital equipment related to continuing production activities. These purchases are consistent with the Company's focus on producing high-quality, affordable remanufactured office systems. The Company anticipates that capital spending for 1998 will be less than $1.0 million. The source of funds for anticipated capital spending will be funds from operations. At June 30, 1998, the Company had borrowings of $2,769,000 under its line of credit. The Company was in violation of certain financial covenants at June 30, 1998. On July 24, 1998, the Company and the lender agreed that the non-compliance with the financial covenants would be waived for the second quarter and the amount of the line reduced to $3,250,000 and declines at scheduled intervals to $2,750,000 over the term of the line. At August 12, 1998, the line of credit balance was $2,255,000. Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,012,000 during the first half of 1998 as compared to net cash used by financing activities of $89,000 during the comparable period in 1997. This increase in cash flows from financing activities for the first half of 1998 represented reduced principal payments on outstanding long-term debt and capital leases, short-term borrowings on the Company's line of credit, and the issuance of common stock. Expected Future Cash Flows. The Company expects that cash flow from operating activities will increase over the next several quarters as decreases in inventories, along with moderation of the decreases in accounts payable associated with the Company's reduced inventory purchases, should improve the Company's short term cash position. The Company is also in negotiations with several financial institutions to extend and increase its credit limit which will provide it additional flexibility to manage its cash position and to fund any amount which might become due and payable under the terms of the TFM acquisition agreement. Seasonality and Impact of Inflation Because the Company recognizes revenues upon shipment and typically ships workstations within three weeks of an order, a substantial portion of the Company's revenues in each quarter results from orders placed by customers during that quarter. As a result, the Company's results may vary from quarter to quarter and may not reflect a seasonal pattern. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's net sales or income to date. However, there can be no assurances that the Company's business will not be affected in the future by inflation. Forward-Looking Statements The foregoing discussion contains certain forward-looking statements, which may be identified by phrases such as "the Company expects" or words of similar effect. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. The Company has identified certain important factors that in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company's actual results and could cause the Company's actual results for fiscal 1998 and any interim period to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These factors are set forth under the caption "Forward-Looking Statements" in Item 6 of the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, a copy of which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company assumes no duty to update any of the statements of this report. OPEN PLAN SYSTEMS, INC. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings None Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds (c) On June 17, 1998, the Company entered into a Management and Consulting Agreement (the Agreement with Great Lakes Capital, LLP. ("GLC") in consideration for, among other things, the grant of an option to GLC to purchase up to 600,000 shares of Company common stock over the next five years at prices ranging from $3.00 to $7.50 per share. To date the option has not been exercised. In connection with the execution of the Agreement, GLC was entitled to purchase 200,000 newly issued shares of common stock from the Company for a purchase price of $2.175 per share or $435,000 in the aggregate.
